Oh, Ron World Peace Artest. You so crazy. Fortunately, his brand of crazy since the Detroit melee has been more of an eye-rolling, “That’s our World Peace!” crazy, rather than Joe Pesci in Casino crazy. This year, he and his idiosyncrasies have fallen under the purview of the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball […]

After rampant speculation and billions of Tweets since the LeBron James move to Cleveland was announced, the Kevin Love trade is formalized, agreed to, and ready to be executed. Of course, the Cavs have to sit on the Wigins contract for 30 days from his signing to complete the deal, so the paperwork will be processed […]

Jeremy Lin will soon be attending Lakers summer practices, having been run out of Houston in a pseudo-bid for Chris Bosh. However, school’s still out, and, appropriately, Jeremy Lin is spending his summer like a bored teenager: hanging out with his dumb friends and doing stupid things on camera. This isn’t an isolated incident. He’s done […]

Since early in Kobe Bryant‘s career, the similarities between his game and Michael Jordan‘s game have been pointed out and discussed. While there’s certainly contention over whose legacy is greater (though Jordan is the prevailing victor), it’s almost impossible to ignore the parallels between their competitive fire, their turnarounds, and their clutch runners. This long […]

The subject matter of this story almost sounds like a drunk game of “Would You Rather?” So let me frame it that way… “Let’s say that you’re an emerging NBA star, but not heading into a contract year. Would you allow yourself to suffer a terrible compound leg fracture that rips through your skin…. IF… […]

The San Antonio Spurs have picked up Becky Hammon, the second female assistant coach in the league, presumably to teach Manu Ginboli and Tony Parker to stop flopping and play the game like men. Or something. The move is a big one for the Spurs, as Hammon has 16 years of WNBA experience behind her, […]

LeBron James seems to have done just about everything right this offseason, having managed to get a slew of new fans in his return home, give cupcakes to his neighbors, and show up at camp about 10 pounds skinnier. His secret is two fold: try to go easy on the carbs and be a world-class […]

If you’re invited to Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union‘s wedding, then you’ve probably already received this “save the date” video, so please disregard and read another story. However, if you HAVEN’T yet received your invite (I’m sure it’s stuck in the mail or something), you might want to check out this fun little exercise that […]

People are critical of Internet users, especially those on Reddit, of having FAR too much time on their hands. They’re probably right, but sometimes “far too much time on their hands” can bring to life some pretty fun things. A Redditor by the name of KMHokie35 polled fellow Reddit users to get a sense of where […]

Critics can point to Michael Jordan‘s twilight playing days with the Wizards as evidence that the legend didn’t have the skills he once did, and there’s something to be said for that. But even at 51 years old, his Airness still has a little something left in the tank. And by “a little something left […]

If you are having a hard time explaining what irony is, you can always just say, “You know, like Brian Scalabrine‘s existence,” and they should get the point. The guy went from being a goofy-looking (read: white) bench player to a minor underdog celebrity for people who wanted to make fun of him, but didn’t […]

Duke and Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski has taken a lot of heat from basketball fans, mainly due to his associated with the widely disliked Duke program. But he’s shown time and time again that he stands by his players. The latest such demonstration is in the wake of Team USA member Paul George‘s terrible […]

Anyone familiar with the ear-blowing, mildly petulant Lance Stephenson won’t be surprised to learn that he didn’t exactly hurt himself playing defense in a summer league game. While I want to rail on him for the lack of effort, I’m not sure that a borderline all-star should be hurting themselves running the court in July […]

We already knew Jeremy Lin liked to make YouTube videos with his friends before he was famous. And given that he’s such a down-to-earth guy, it shouldn’t surprise us that he’s still making YouTube videos with those same friends now that the whole world knows who he is. However, with Jeremy now a member of […]

Last week, the city of Philadelphia suffered a horrific tragedy. Two young men allegedly carjacked and sexually assaulted the owner of an SUV, then fled the scene in the vehicle and eventually crashed into a fruit stand, killing three children. Cornelius Crawford, 23, and Johnathan Rosa, 19, have been charged with second degree murder, kidnapping, […]
